"The butterfly knife is a form of folding pocket knife which has two handles that counter-rotate around the tang. It's a great design because when it's closed, the blade is completely covered. When a well made butterfly knife is open and the two handles are locked together, it is as strong and reliable as a fixed blade knife"

Hmmm. I couldn't have said it better myself.

Seems they've copied more than someone else's design. Well, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

With a 440 blade, these have potential to rise above the average Rostfrei. But, the handle design really resembles those cheapie german ones that keep showing up at auction.

Yes it is overpriced.

I checked out their price on a stryker, to compare, and it was $109 which isn't that unreasonable(last time I checked). 2d_edge, I dont think you're talking about the same butterfly. It still looks like a cheapie as Gollnick said. Doesn't look like it would hold up.

heh, that china cheapie you speak of at http://www.selfdefenseproducts.com/os.htm was my first butterfly knife I purchased after discovering clay's site. Bought 4 for 40$, made 35$ selling two and reduced the other two to scraps of die cast metal in the monthes that followed. I really wish there was a higher quality knife out there of this style. To bad this "spanish" one isnt it....
